China didn't conquer Korea because they have them as a vassal and if you declare war on your vassal, you end up on -3 stability. It would take so much administrative mana to get your stability back up.
Not a vassal. The relationship is more of nominal tributary relationship. Korea was entirely independent and kept a mostly amicable relationship through diplomacy.
hello. As a Korean history major, I would like to point out one major error in this video: it portrays Korea's tribute to China as if it was for the benefit of China, when in fact it was the other way around. To understand this, you need to understand two things: first, China has always had more than 10~15 times the population of Korea, so the economic benefits of exploiting Korea were largely meaningless to them. Second, and most importantly, the misconception is that tribute in East Asia is of a different, religious nature than in other parts of the world. This misconception is widespread, even in modern East Asia, because Western civilization has replaced East Asian traditions. To understand the relationship, it's important to understand Confucius' thought. Confucius saw the chaos of the Warring States period as fundamentally caused by the breakdown of state order, and advocated the restoration of family order as a solution. In other words, state order can be restored in the same way as family order. This boils down to fathers fulfilling their roles - providing for their families, educating their children, etc. - and, conversely, children respecting their father's authority and being responsible for the livelihood of their elderly parents. Confucius applied this relationship to the state order, with monarchs corresponding to fathers and subjects to children. The same logic applies precisely to foreign relations. The ancient Chinese saw the world in three levels: first, China, the only civilized country in the world. Around this, they envisioned barbarian nations that were somewhat civilized, if not as civilized as China. These were called outer vassal or fence states because they were friendly to China (which translates to tributary states in English). Then there are the uncivilized barbarian nations that have been largely untouched by China, who are considered the enemies of civilized China (usually the Mongols and Tungus). Confucius perceived these barbarians as basically like children: he believed that, like children, they could be civilized by providing them with proper education, and from this, world peace could be achieved. Just as it is not right to use violence against a child, it was the basic idea of Chinese intellectuals that in foreign relations, civilization should be pursued through "education" rather than violence. So, just as you would reward a child for good behavior and punish them for bad behavior, if they learned Confucianism well, they would be recognized as "civilized barbarians" through a process whereby they would be granted tribute and the king of that country would be formally appointed as a vassal of the Chinese emperor (this is what a fence state is). Herein lies the peculiarity: China rewarded the tribute-giving country with goods, on average, three to five times the value of the tribute. However, if they were badly behaved, they would reduce the amount of tribute they were allowed (and receive fewer bounties), and if they were seriously bad, they would not be allowed tribute (the Ningbo incident, where Japan was stripped of its tribute rights by China, is an example of this). Or worse, if you dethroned the king by force without just cause, you had a cause for war(Koguryeo-sui war). This doesn't make sense at first glance, because outside of East Asia, tribute is a form of taxation, a payment from the conqueror to the conquered. But if you think of it in terms of family relationships, it's very easy to understand: a child gives his father a portion of what he earns, and if the father is a strong and capable man, he will reward him with many times that amount. This is the basic understanding of the tribute relationship.
So ancient China took this morality to the extreme, really more than you might think. The video makes it sound as if tribute slaves were a common practice, but in reality, there are no instances of the ancient Chinese empire demanding human tribute from foreign countries, such as women or slaves. Rather, China rejected a female slave sent from ancient Korea. The reason for this slave tribute is the Mongols, who completely ignore the system. The later Ming Dynasty was also influenced by Mongol culture, and required slaves in the early years of its existence, but quickly abandoned it. The relationship between the two countries was highlighted by Japan's invasion of Korea, where China provided enough rice to feed every Korean during the war. It also built roads and provided large amounts of silver coins to South Korea in response to criticism that rice was difficult to transport. After the war ended, a permanent subsidy of 60,000 liang of silver was given annually to rebuild Korea's shattered military and economic strength. Other occasional grants of silver were also made, but due to exploitation by China's middle bureaucracy, Korea actually received less than this.
Finally, the video lumps all these different countries together and reduces them to modern China, which simplifies it to modern China vs. modern Korea, but that's not really the case, because countries like the Yao Dynasty, the Golden Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty were countries of groups that were ethnically, linguistically, and culturally distinct from the Han Chinese, the mainstream ethnic group in China. They were, to put it mildly, in the third tier. So there are actually a lot more different dynamics, and it would be misleading to not describe them.
Yeah and I think this is further encouraged when history classes in the West teach us to compare the tribute system in China with others in the world like of the tribute system in the Aztec Empire.

Chinese always say that Korea was part of China but not once they controlled whole peninsula. Only northenrn part which also was very momentarily during han dynasty. It was China that always was conquered and was slaved by nothern nomadic tribes. And in traditional Chinese perspective those dynasties of nomads were not considered Chinese history but ofc ccp came to power and they are now not only saying all of them are Chinese but also Korean dynasties are their regional history. And obviously most Chinese believe whatever CCP want them to believe like the good slaves they are.
No empires can be monoethnic, they always end up with different people. I will agree that mongols are not Chinese history but Manchus, Xianbeis have been intertwined with Chinese people and culture that they were fully sinicized.
Bullshit, I am Chinese growing up in China, no one Chinese I hav ever met in my life claims Korea is part of China. We dont need that piece of land, not interested. Our only complain is that Korean steal culture from China and claim it as Korean culture. We all know that many of Korean culture originally came from China.
I believe that Goguryeo history is a part of the history of Manchuria, as the Goguryeo had controlled the port city of Dalian, and the vast region of south Manchuria. Hence, the claim actually had a fact in it, and is not only due to your argument for indoctrination of the PRC. Furthermore, there was a period where the Chinese did rule over the Northern region of Korea, near Pyeongyang. It was a very long time ago and the regime is called the Wiman Joseon, perhaps you could search it up. I did also notice your condescending tone at last, which perhaps does not help anyone in China realize their situation, but rather provokes them and leads to them stopping to listen to the things you are saying.
Hello! Korean here, First of all cool to see you made a video on korea! But I saw some slight errors so I'm gonna leave what I found so people arent confused 3:12 The Visuals are a bit misleading, SIlla unified korea and bordered up to the daedong river not all the way up to manchuria And the map used here is also pretty outdated since kaya fell to silla around a hundred years before korea unified 6:54 Jeju isand (the island on the most left under korea) was under korean rule not japan 8:14 Korea didnt own liaodong, japan took it from china after the Mukden incident alongside all of manchuria Other than that Great work on the vodeo really appriceate it
Also in 4:24, jeju was under Korean (and Mongol) rule. Fun fact, Mongol brought a large amount of horses to jeju Island (for the invasion of Japan I presume) and to this day the Island is famous for horse breeding
For westerners who don't know much about the history of Eastern war) 2:50 The expression "Million" does not simply mean a very large army, but actually, the emperor Yang of the Sui mobilized 1,133,800 army and 50,000 naval troops.
The numbers are astounding. Some battles fought in Europe, whose numbers were exaggerated by contemporary historians, fail to match the scale of those recorded during the Goguryeo-Sui wars.
Ancient historians usally claimed it was three million, but the recent research found that it's actually 1.13 million. Modern historians, such as David Graff, insist that 1.13 million was the total number of the people who participated the war. It includes transportation units, medics, and engineers as well as combat units.
It would be interesting if you cover the Imjin war and Admiral Lee Sun Shin. Admiral Lee Sun Shin is regarded by many to be the god of naval warfare. Even the English did not refuse to put him on the same pedestal as Admiral Nelson. What the English disregarded however, was that Admiral Nelson had full support from his country. Admiral Lee quite single handedly saved his country without the support of the government, sometimes the officials even conspiring against him. Not only did he win all battles against great odds, he earned the respect of the Japanese who were his enemies, as well as the Ming who considered the Korean army as their inferior. Some criticize the revisionist history, but such records of Admiral Lee can also be found from the Japanese and Chinese records.
Also one thing to note in that region near Northern China was always an area of tension between Han Chinese, Jurchen/Manchu, Mongols/Khitan, and Koreans. Accepting tribute from Korea and having an "ally" instead of forcing control more often than not was the right choice to balance the tensions there, so any Dynasty there would be better off keeping a native ruling class there instead of have direct administration. Tribute was good for both too. Chinese dynasties would have prestige and save face and Korean rulers would have legitimacy and access to the sweet Chinese markets.
The closest analogy I can come up with Korea being a tributary of China is how the Holy Roman Empire was considered the successor of Rome in Western Europe and the protector of Roman Catholic Christianity. Other Catholic monarchs won't call themselves an emperor to respect their authority, and when the HRE said it must retake Jerusalem all those monarchs at least pretended to listen. A relation similar to that was how Korea treated the Ming and the Qing Dynasties. During the Yuan Dynasty, on the other hand, it was more like how Burgundy or Bohemia was to the HRE: a vassal whose sovereignty was handed over to Karakorum, but in posession of significant power as a Mongolian equivalent of a Prince-elector.
I approve this comment as a Korean lol Historically, some common enemy had always existed between Korea and Han China. Manchuria had been an independent area where many nomads arose and fell. In the ancient era, the Korean kingdoms of of Goguryeo and Balhae sided with the nomads to balance against China. However, in Goryeo/Song era, the nomads such as Göktürks, Khitans, Jürchens, and Mongolians, started to form independent nations. Both Goryeo and Song were forced into a total war against these nomads for more than a couple hundred years and even vassalized by the last enemy of Mongolia. Learning from this history, Joseon had had enough motivation to side with China to balance against these independent nomad nations.
It was short sighted, made to create an easier rule for the current period while guaranteeing strain for every future period of rule. If they didn't have common fears to pair them or if China could truly commit itself to taking Korea then that would have been the move to make.

lol, According to ancient Korean historical records, Koreans (Joseon Dynasty) literally regarded and declared themself as Little China (Sojunghwa) or "Remains of Chinese Civilization" when the Ming dynasty collapsed and was replaced by the barbarian Manchu Qing dynasty...The Korean culture, the Korean language, the Korean names...were heavily Chinese-based and Chinese inlfunced. Korea only abandoned Chinese characters in the modern time 20th century. And today, Koreans can't know the meaning of their names without Chinese characters to clarify it. Thus Koreans have to use Chinese characters beside Korean writing on Korean IDs...

Historically Koreans and han-Chinese had always been the allies fighting against northern invaders together, until the Chinese government began to claim these invaders were also “Chinese.” Suddenly the Koreans became the enemies and the conquered inferior people. Koreans are like “bruh…” That’s a such huge backstabbing move. Another thing the video is missing is that the tributary system in east Asian worked differently than the western one. Culturally, recognizing Chinese emperor’s heavenly mandate seemed as a beautiful thing. The relationship between the emperors and the kings is more of brotherly and parent-children one. Financially, Koreans made money by making so called tributary trips. The Chinese emperors returned more gifts in return, with a few exceptions of Mongols, early Jin and Liao which actually took stuff from the Koreans, but they were arguably non-Chinese dynasties. One can argue that over the last 2000 years, the Koreans and Han-Chinese people only fought 4 major wars. The Han empire, the Wei dynasty, the red turban rebels, and the communist China.

It was the Manchu ruled Qing dynasty that imposed the multi-ethnic identiy on China.

The north of the Great Wall is not Chinese territory.It was dominated by Mongolians and Manchurians,Koreans.Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall to prevent the so-called Northern Orangkae.After that, China was conquered by the KimDynasty and Mongolia established by descendants of Kim Ham-bo of the Silla Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty was conquered by the Manchurians and ruled for 300 years. Manchurian Wonryugo (滿考洲源), compiled during the Qing Dynasty's Qianlongje, also identified the origin of the founder of the Kim Dynasty as Silla, and the national name of the Kim Dynasty also revealed that his founder's surname originated from the surname Kim of the King of Silla. The Gojoseon civilization was 1,500 years ahead of the Yellow River civilization in China "The Gojoseon civilization, which emerged 5,000 years ago, was the third ancient civilization in the world to be formed after the Mesopotamian civilization (5500 years ago) and the Egyptian civilization (5100 years ago). It comprehensively summarizes the origins and birth of Gojoseon civilization, socio-economic foundations and cultural characteristics, and the foundation, development, and dismantlement of ancient countries About 12,000 years ago, when the Ice Age ended, people who started farming on the ancient Korean Peninsula below the 40th parallel north latitude succeeded in cultivating single-grained rice and beans for the first time in the world. As a result of the Neolithic agricultural revolution, the number of groups living in the Namhangang River and Geumgang River basins increased significantly, and some of them gradually moved to the north, where farming was possible. Those located in the east of Joha became the Ye people whose tigers were totem, and those who crossed to the west of Joha became the Mac people whose bears were totem. Professor Shin claims that Gojoseon moved the capital to Liaodong 1,000 years later to absorb the Yejok, and expanded its territory to the east and west to build an ancient federal state spanning the Korean Peninsula, Manchuria, and Primorsky. He said, "The Korean, Ye, and Mac tribes that lead to the Korean people form the center of Gojoseon, and nomadic tribes that have been conquered and merged such as Eupru, Hunno, Dolgul, and Mongolia are located around."
@@yihandeng5230 There are many history and stories in Korea as well. Just as Europe is interesting, Korea has an interesting history. For example, I recommend the story of the first Joseon king and his son
Another reason China couldn’t conquer Korea is that they were unable to properly develop Liaodong, a territory close to Korea, due to technological limitations, harsh climatic and terrain conditions. Without a strong population base in Liaodong to support their military expeditions, they encountered significant supply issues on their way to Korea.
Wrong, during the collapse of the eastern Han dynasty, the Liaodong commandry was still able to defeat Korean tribes and force them to pay tribute. You heard that right, Liaodong alone held the Korean tribes as tributaries. Later the province was depopulated forcefully when the governor scorned Cao Cao. Liaodong would later be rebuilt under the Tang, Liao, Yuan, Ming and Qing as a key military hub, Ming, Yuan and Qing could have conquered Korea but none of them chose to do so.
@@muchsoso8468 Liaodong is the region which ancient Chinese dubbed the "Eastern Barbarians", now called Tungusic peoples.

That's like saying your mother is the ancestor of your cousin.
I guess that makes perfect sense, since Chinese dynasties failed to permanently conquer Vietnam, Outer Mongolia, and Tibet (before late Qing) for I guess the same reason.
This is not real history. In the past, Korea's land was more vast. Otherwise, no matter how wise they were, they could not stop the invasion of Asians. Until recently, our country had occupied Manchuria, Beijing, and the south. It wasn't until Joseon that we reached the Korean Peninsula and Gando. And history is wrong because of the distortion of history between Japan and China. The distortion of history is still ongoing to this day. The Han have never occupied a large area of land. The vast land of China was created by the northern peoples of Asia. Thank you for reading the long article, and I hope the day will come when the history is revealed.

Skipping over such points and just shortly focusing on what those so called Chinese kingdoms were tells a lot. Han, it could be Chinese. Let's count 1, Soo, that ruling class came from nomads not chinese(at least at that time), Tang, the same(could be, many believe). Chitan, the same. Just add Tang. Then 2. After that, Song, Ming. 2 Chinese dynasties which never could cross Korean border. Total 4 kingdoms at best(Chinese origin, Power in Chinese continent). Whatever afflicted Korea were mostly not Chinese origins. On the contrary. Han(Chinese, main tribe) people were very rarely independent...😮
Khitans were highly sinicized later into their rule, look up their clothing style found in Liao tomb murals, they look practically the same as Song Hanfu except their shaved hairstyle. Also like Mongolian Yuan, they learned to build cities and settled in northern China, the 8 great Liao architectures remaining today are all in Chinese style, none of them have any traces of nomadic lifestyle.
Tributes are just a sign of Korea's promise not to invade China. At that time, China was in conflict with many countries at the border, from east to west, north to south, and so on, so this promise was needed. Because even if one million soldiers were mobilized in the past, all were annihilated and the country was destroyed twice.
As an American soldier who was stationed in Korea for three years I could summarize why Korea wasn’t conquered thusly: The summers are hot The winters are cold And there’s a shit ton of mountains
This isn’t the reason why the Chinese didn’t conquer Korea, the Chinese never attempted to wage total war on Korea. The simple reason is the Korean kingdoms paid tributes to China.
@Mike-bt3ki No. China wasn't even a neighbor of Korea. There were Mongols and Jurchens in the North. The great wall is located in Beijing. China was inside the great wall. If China was getting invaded by Mongols and Jurchens, how can they invade Korea? Lol
Above topography and shrewd diplomacy, it was the bravery and tenacity of Korean populace who never gave up fighting against Chinese invaders that made Korean identity to survive until these days.
One thing I want to point out as a Korean is that the Joseon Dynasty of Korea (late 1300s - late 1800s) wanted to pay more tributes to Ming/Qing, and the Chinese/Manchurians wanted less. This seems illogical at first glance, however, it was actually Korea that was taking the advantage out of the tributes. Joseon did pay with luxurious goods and concubines, however, Joseon received everyday goods (e.g. rice) and chances to trade in China for return. Since select items from Joseon (e.g. Red Ginseng) were considered the best in the world, Joseon wanted more opportunities to trade in China and make profits. This explains why Joseon wanted to pay tributes more times than Ming/Qing wanted. But why did Ming/Qing needed to take the tributes from Joseon at all, if they were actually losing money on those tributes? It is because the ruling families of Ming/Qing needed Joseon to pay tribute to them so that they can show their people they are strong and have everything under control. It proved their legitimacy to rule, since they called themselves Son of the Sky(God). This means Ming/Qing wanted it to happen once a while, not the amount Joseon wanted it to.
they don't actually need tribute. why it is explotive is tribute are basically abuse as trade without taxes and tariff, so the court lose money if the good has come in as diplomatic goods instead of trading goods... just like today, China is the biggest market in the world, if you don't have to pay tax to sell your stuff in China, you will be rich, and Chinese government would have a big hole in their revenue... and worst they have to sell the goods for you since they need money to buy goods to return as gift.
@@BloodyNapkin25 westerners don’t understand how tribute work. It’s the same way that the U.S. has a trade deficit with its allies. Basically China chose to take on a trade deficit occasionally in exchange for foreign legations to show up and demonstrate their symbolic subjugation before the masses.
@@picochid9144 This was more out of the emperor's vanity than the interests of the empire. In the act of tribute, the empire paid far more than it received, and later the emperor had to stipulate the amount of tribute and the number of envoys each year.
@@picochid9144 This is similar to the modern US-Korea relationship. In reality, the economic benefits to the US are small. That's why Trump doesn't like the relationship with East Asian countries like Korea and Japan. Because it is a relationship designed to maintain American-centric liberalism, not American interests. Modern China also wants to form a China-centered East Asian union, which is why it is in conflict with Korea. In fact, the Korean left seems to be showing pro-China behavior and trying to shift to a China-centric approach.
korea almost never shared borders with china most of the time that means they always had the same enemy to deal with and the fact korea has colder winters than russia says for itself and by the way, manchurians are NOT chinese ok?
1. China Didn't(X), Couldn't(O) conquer Between Korea and central China lies an immense expanse of unfarmable wasteland, inhabited by numerous barbarian tribes. Given the military technology and mobilization capabilities of the era of cold weapons, even China would have found it nearly impossible to overcome these obstacles and successfully occupy the Korean Peninsula. If any Chinese dynasty ignored these barriers and attempted to conquer Korea, it would have inevitably weakened itself to the point of collapse. 2. No reason to be hostile to Korea. China was surrounded by numerous barbarian tribes. In such a situation, antagonizing Korea, a civilization with a similar agrarian settlement structure, would have been a foolish move. Thus, China formed an alliance with Korea, akin to a NATO-style coalition. As a result, Korea played a crucial role in keeping the northeastern barbarians in check on behalf of China. Evidence of this can be seen in the repeated instances where northern barbarians, before threatening mainland China, first attacked or diplomatically pressured Korea to secure the safety of their rear and flank.
That's an interesting video. I want to share with you all the historical facts. If we look at history, we can see that China has made a lot of attempts and efforts to annex the Korean Peninsula. China destroyed Gojoseon through its strong military power during the Han Dynasty. However, there were several countries around the area that were Korea's ancestors, the Yemaek and Han(韓) Korean. Among them, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla stood out, and they formed Korea's Three Kingdoms Period. United China's invasion of Korea is as follows. Goguryo-Sui War 1: China (the Sui Dynasty) launched wars against Goguryeo with 300,000 troops. However, it was defeated by Goguryeo troops, and the Sui army was wiped out. After the defeated soldiers returned, the Sui distorted and concealed in its history book that about 80 to 90 percent of its troops were killed in "Rain and Typhoon," not by Goguryeo, but later in another history book, Gudangseo, it is recorded as being defeated by Goguryeo. "In the days of Emperor Mun, the world was strong and caused a million troops, but it was rather defeated by Goguryeo." -History of Tang Goguryeo-Su War 2: The Sui Yangje invaded Goguryeo with 1,133,800. However, they were not able to advance to the Liaodong front, and Suyangje infiltrated 305,000 soldiers into Pyongyang by making an army annexe and sent tens of thousands of sailors to replenish supplies to try to capture the capital, Pyongyang. However, 40,000 sailors were brutally defeated by 500 Goguryeo commanders and 305,000 soldiers were wiped out by the Battle of Salsu. Goguryeo-Su War 3: Hundreds of thousands of troops are mobilized. However, it has consumed so much national power in Goguryeo's expeditions that a rebellion breaks out in China. It retreated from the Sui Dynasty army, but was attacked by Goguryeo that killed tens of thousands of people. Fourth: The Sui Dynasty finally captured one castle! However, the Sui Dynasty was on the verge of collapse and rebelled against it. The Suiyangje is captured by insurgents. Eventually, he kills himself crying, leaving a message like, "Don't touch the corpse, because I was the emperor anyway." Goguryeo-Tang War 1: Emperor Taizong of Tang mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops. Taizong was a capable monarch. Although he paid off by capturing Goguryeo's northern castles. But he was defeated at Ansi. After returning home, Emperor Taizong of Tang demanded a history book and opened it in defiance of his servants' dissuasion. There was a record of his defeat. Emperor Taizong of Tang was angry at this and reduced the historical records. 2nd round: Emperor Gaozong of the Tang think that he cannot destroy Goguryeo by himself alone. So Tang forms an alliance with Silla, Goguryeo's enemy. Silla also accepts it because they was difficult due to Goguryeo's attacks. They promise that Silla will rule the south and Tang the north based on the Daedong River. The Tang first destroyed Baekje with Silla, and then invaded Goguryeo. However, Tang lost the Battle of Sasu and retreats with the salvation and supply of Silla's forces. Third: An internal strife broke out in Goguryeo. The Tang and Silla invaded Goguryeo during this time, which was destroyed by the fall of its capital, Pyongyang. Silla-Tang War: At first, Tang and Silla promised that Silla would own land south of the Daedong River, but Tang had no intention of keeping its promise. Tang send Governor to Baekje. And they even send Governo to Silla, an independent country. As a result, Silla preemptively attacks the Tang and a war breaks out. The Tang sent 200,000 troops, but the war ended in Silla's victory with the Battle of Masung and Kibeolpo. Balhae: Balhae was founded on Goguryeo's land by proclaiming its succession. They are recognized as a nation by preventing several invasions by Tang and attacking the Shandong Peninsula of Tang. Goryeo: Earlier Sui, Tang had one of China's greatest powers in history, but the Song Dynasty that existed during Goryeo was not as strong as they were and did not border Goryeo. Therefore, it was never close to Goryeo. Instead, the Khitan Empire, which was hostile to the Song Dynasty, invaded Goryeo. Goryeo fought back by sending 300,000 troops, but suffered a major crisis when it lost the Battle of Tongju. But with General Yang Gyu's performance, Goryeo's General Kang Gam-chan used hundreds of thousands of troops to annihilate the Khitan's 100,000 elite fighters during War III. This led to a call from within the Song Dynasty for establishing friendly relations with Goryeo to fight the Khitan. And with this, the dynasty of Han Chinese no longer wanted to annex Korea. After so many battles, Korea was able to remain a separate country from China. Imagine you are a Han Chinese emperor. You want to attack the Korean Peninsula. You declare that you will mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops. Then your servants will say in opposition, "Your Majesty, read the History Book. If we launch an invasion, our damage will be severe, too."

If you simply draw such a conclusion after watching this video, then you are misled! The history of China and the Korean Peninsula is not just a history of annexation, but more of it is about defending the Korean Peninsula! Let me tell you, in 663 AD, the Tang Dynasty of China sent troops and united with Silla to defeat the Japanese invasion! In 1592 and 1597 AD, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to unite with the Kingdom of Chosun and once again defeated the Japanese invasion of the Korean Peninsula! In 1895, the Qing Dynasty failed in the war to defend Korea again! In 1910, the Kingdom of Korea was annexed by Japan and began colonial rule! Since the Tang Dynasty, China has hardly invaded the Korean Peninsula dynasty, and basically maintained a tributary relationship! Especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, they all played the role of defenders! 如果你看完这个视频就简单的得出这样一个结论，那么你就被误导了！中国和朝鲜半岛历史，不仅仅是吞并历史，其中更多的保卫朝鲜半岛！我来告诉你，公元663年，中国唐朝出兵，联合新罗，击败了日本的侵略！公元1592.1597年明朝出兵联合朝鲜王国，再一次击败了日本对朝鲜半岛侵略！1895年，清朝在再次保卫朝鲜的战争中失败！1910年朝鲜王国被日本吞并，并开始殖民统治！中国自从唐以后就几乎没有对朝鲜半岛王朝侵略过，基本维持朝贡国关系！尤其是明朝清朝时代，都是担负着保卫者角色！
@shkunwen Thank you for sharing your opinion. I understand what you want to say. But since there is an error in your argument, I will talk about it. You view the Japanese military in the Battle of the Baek River as well as the Japanese military in the Joseon-Japan War as the same, but you are wrong. First of all, Japan in the ancient period was a relatively underdeveloped country due to the nature of its isolated region as an island, and it was not such a strong opponent for China and the countries on the Korean Peninsula. You may have said that the Korean Peninsula was in crisis due to the Battle of the Baek River, but it is not true. Rather, Japan and the Baekje Revival Army were inferior and were easily removed by the Silla and Tang Dynasty. Japan's threats were made to both countries through large-scale Japanese pirates of the period of the Northern and Southern dynasties, and the military rise after the reunification of the Sengoku period. You seem to overestimate the Japanese military during the Battle of the Baek River. Second, in the Battle of Baek river, the Japanese military is not an invading force. The Japanese military was sent to support the Baekje Revival Army during the Battle of Baek river, which had a different purpose than Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who tried to conquer the Korea and China. At that time, Japan had a closer relationship with Baekje among the Korean Peninsula nations of Silla and Baekje. Therefore, it helped the Baekje Revival Army work. Interpreting this as an attempt by Japan to invade and annex the Korean Peninsula is like concluding that "Korea invade China" on the basis that Joseon maintained close ties with the Ming Dynasty, opposed the Qing Dynasty, and sent reinforcements to the Battle of Sarhü.
Honestly love this channel, glad you're back! Buuuuut, it's a bit odd to exclude the Mongol Yuan dynasty and the Manchu Qing dynasty but not exlude the Khitan Liao dynasty
Many kingdoms in China attacked Korea, but they were defeated by Korea and the country itself disappeared. So many countries did, and so did the party. Moreover, Korea was a brother to the nomads of Central and North Asia, and Turkey, so China had to have strong military or diplomatic power enough to be ready to fight against other nomads in order to attack Korea to avoid being invaded by them. In fact, diplomacy between the two countries was so fierce that diplomats from South Korea and China were sent to the palace several times to prevent the palace from striking China's rear, and on some days, diplomats from South Korea and China accidentally visited the palace together. It is not that China did not attack Korea because it was weak, but because Korea was strong.
@@Austine1452yes when learning Gojoseon in Korea, we always see a map drawing line somewhat similar to Goguryeo’s borderline. Many students confuse it as Gojoseon’s borderline, but it is actually Gojoseon’s cultural sphere.
Korea did not protect the Korean Peninsula peacefully, but defended it with blood by fighting against China and northern powers for thousands of years. It is impossible to maintain independence through diplomacy alone without any force. And the Khitan, Mongolia, and Jurchen (Qing) are not China. The last real war between China and Korea was against the Tang Dynasty. The last time Korea almost went to war with China was in 1388 when Goryeo dispatched an army to invade the Ming Dynasty, but the commander rebelled, destroying the Goryeo Dynasty and establishing the Joseon Dynasty. Lastly, Goryeo's ability to defend its dynasty from the Mongols had nothing to do with supporting the Japanese invasion. When Kublai Khan was struggling for power with Ariq Buka, Goryeo sided with Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan was grateful for this and did not destroy Goryeo, but married his daughter to the king of Goryeo and maintained the Goryeo dynasty.
Korea is recognized universally as a country rather than a regional occupation. Naturally, the influential people of the world will increase the value of the Won to prevent the regional rebellion from recruiting fresh-out-of-jail gangsters from around the world (and, most importantly, to encourage the best-educated and strongest families to go to Korea to shut down the rebellion). They are trying to increase the value of their currency by having constant rebellions back-to-back. Remember, they are connected with the USA: they are VERY TOXIC, and their "revolution" was based on wanting to be wild cruel children forever, rather than on human rights, or on greed. There is a sort of "framework" to it, where rather than just a child, you need to be "children" with them actually (it's an interpersonal rather than intrapersonal thing for them to face off against the world. They're not one-man-vs-the-world. They're a cult which contaminates religious groups.) I'm only saying this because I'm ethically required to. I don't have any particular disagreement with you in this matter after reading what you've said. The real questions are: How similar were Sejong-era 'realreforms' to George Washington's or Alexander The Great's reforms? Are they less real than other reforms? Does China believe in any concept of human rights to any degree (anything beyond making sure that Chinese people can easily learn about the Chinese government, and that Chinese people never need to do anything more than to learn about their government in order to ensure that they themselves will never need to worry about human rights ever again)? Shouldn't China be keeping exactly as much of a distance from Korea as they currently are? Just because someone is happy in China now, does that mean that he will DEFINITELY choose to live a perfect and peaceful life in China rather than to help others who haven't successfully managed to cross the border and inhabit the country? Don't all immigrants to China unanimously agree?
@@rawlsk14 The Qing Empire encompassed more than just China, but the Qing were undoubtedly Chinese. Qing emperors themselves repeatedly identified as Chinese, though they still didn’t identified as Hans. The Yongzheng Emperor even personally debated a scholar on this topic, quoting Confucius to support his claim of being Chinese.
@@gavinwang7886you are applying retroactively the concept of China it just used to be a series of dynasties and ethnicities until a common identity emerged
It's kind of strange to disqualify the Yuan dynasty and possibly Qing dynasty as non-Chinese, but not mention that aside from the Ming and Tang, most Chinese dynasties were founded by northern invaders rather than Han Chinese. The rulers of the Khitan Liao, shown at 3:49 were not Han either.
@@CaptainBoat The paternal line of the Sui and Tang dynasties was pure Han, and the maternal line was Xianbei! However, the Xianbei disappeared, and more merged into the Han people in northern China! The Sui and Tang dynasties followed Han culture and system. There is no doubt that the Sui and Tang dynasties were pure Chinese.
1. Khitans are not, or were not Chinese at the time. They are one of mongolian tribes. 2. Mongols never conquered Korea. After nearly a 100 years of war Kubilai married off his favorite daughter to Korean king, made them in-law/ally. 3. So called "tributes" between Korea and China were actually just trade between the government. Korea receiving more from China whenever they send something. China got to feel respected and Korea got money. 4. Lastly, You don't declare a war on a country has much less than you do, more stubborn than Scots, happy to be friends with you due to confuscianism, and its people are masters of warfare and technology. Koreans were all masters of archery and engineering that is modern equivalent of having army of snipers and weapon scientist in every town. Emperor Hongwu who started Ming dynasty knew that well and told his descendants never to invade Korea.
Great Video! Despite the minor things here and there i think you did a great job of capturing the grand scheme of things! For anyone interested, you need to understand the tribute system in that area isnt quite like the ones in western world. I urge you guys to find out ;)
Korea does not believe in myths as history. This is because China believes in Korea as a secular country but still thinks that China is the best country in the world. China envies and tries to exclude Korea. It changes history by saying that Korea's traditional clothes, Korean language, Korean style culture, and Korean traditional culture all come from China. This is because Korea's economy and culture have grown in size unlike in the past. During the Cultural Revolution, traditional Chinese culture disappeared, and China now considers other countries' history and culture its own. Tibet, Mongolia, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, as well as Korea, are all said to be its own history, but the truth is not covered by the palm of your hand
The core is korean and chineses share different ethnicity. Koreans are from north, siberia. Riders and shooting arrows. Chinese are from south mainly. It is like allemande-gaul situationship(lol). Cannot be together at all.
It's not that you are very tenacious, but your peninsula really has no resources worth plundering. A country that eats kimchi every day has to subsidize your life to rule you, which is really not a good deal. Your king is willing to surrender and become a vassal state, and promise to pay tribute every year, so why would he fight you? The Ming Dynasty helped Korea defend against many Japanese attacks, but your movies are too funny, bragging about how strong your fighting power is, which is really funny.
Not half of history. The rule of Mongolians and Manchus lasted for nearly 400 years. But they will eventually be actively or passively sinicized. For example in the confrontation between the Northern and Southern Song dynasties and the northern nomadic dynasties. the northern nomadic peoples also used Chinese characters to record their history. Most of these nomadic ancient peoples have disappeared. Only Mongolians and Manchus or others remain.
A massive cope by Chinese nationalists that they love to repeat is that Korea was a "vassal" of China and therefore a part of China. China's vassal/tribute system was symbolic and more like a diplomatic mission + trade agreement that they offered to certain countries they could not conquer or mess with (hence why Koreans don't speak Chinese even today). Basically, the vassal state would agree to recognize the Chinese emperor, pay him a small gift, and agree not to attack China. In exchange, China would agree to pay back the vassal state significantly more than what it paid as a gift to the Emperor, and give the vassal greater access to the Chinese market for trading purposes. Korean dynasties became stinking rich by doing this. In fact, the Korean government kept negotiating to be allowed to send more tribute missions per year while the Chinese government was trying to lower the number since it was draining their wealth each time Korea sent a tribute mission. Japan also requested to be allowed to send more tributary missions. Funny thing is, the British Empire was also a tributary state of China. So was the Dutch Empire. The Manchus who would later conquer and rule China as its last dynasty was also a tributary state of China. Basically, China's vassal system was more like a "Recognize our ruler and give him a small symbolic gift, in exchange we will pay you back many fold."
@@seoul_9584 From Wikipedia：Han Chinese people, the largest ethnic group in China, are often wrongly referred to as "Chinese" or "ethnic Chinese" in English.
The fact is Korea won 5 major wars and lost 1 against Sui and Tang. The one they lost was due to Shilla and Tang alliance. The Shilla and Tang alliance didn't last long, as Shilla kicked Tang out of Korean peninsula. When the Mongols and Manchus invaded Korea, as long as the Korea paid tribute, they left Korea alone while they subjugated the Han Chinese.
Your GoJoseon map is wrong. Don't go by Chinese claims only. Reference Korean, Mongolian, Russian maps too. Also comb through Chinese and other written records of Gojukguk, Gori, Guri, Shang, etc.
Korea was the only country that Genghis khan's Mongol empire invaded and (ultimately) achieved military victory against but wouldn't (or couldn't) put under its direct rule. Compare Korea with other countries of the time such as China, Russia, Iran, Hungary, Afghanistan, Tangut, etc., which were all dissolved as national entities and directly incorporated into the Mongol empire. It was because of the Mongols' respect for the Koreans' fighting spirit and prospect of the fierce resistance if they did so as well as the knowledge that they wouldn't be the only ones who failed to fully subjugate them historically.
Only nomadic empires(Mongol, Manchu) defeated and vassalized Korea. This is because supplying troops was nightmare for sedentary Han Chinese. First, Liao swamp/river was difficult to invade, and deadly to retreat. Second, Qian Shan mountain range boosted defense of Goguryeo's legendary mountain fortresses. Third, Changbai mountain range had one chokepoint to enter the Korean peninsular. Invaders had to break all three in 8 months, or retreat while starving, freezing, and being attacked. Mongol succeeded by raiding and massacring Koreans until they surrendered. Manchu pulled off the 'pro-gamer move' by capturing the king.

This tribute system is the reason why Chinese people have been running amok in Korea for a few years now, claiming that all Korean culture belongs to China. Chinese people have exaggerated this system to claim that everything in Korea belongs to China even though China did not directly conquer and dominate Korea, and they are slandering Korea by claiming that even Korean culture that has not been influenced by China belongs to China.
Koreans literally make movies about how your people was loyal to Ming Dynasty, the Korean king had to be appointed by the Ming Emperor every year. What are you smoking on?
@@LP18888 When I say Chinese, I mean people like you. I don't understand why you conclude that Korean culture is Ming culture just because the Ming emperor chose the Joseon king. There was no need to mess with the culture of a marginalized immigrant people who weren't under direct control and weren't even of the same ethnicity, and interfering in their internal affairs outside of kingship matters is useless. It is true that the dress of the king and his subjects, the ruling class that should conduct China-centered diplomacy, was influenced by the Ming Dynasty. Koreans do not deny this. However, there is no record of Ming interference and imposition of traditional culture and customs of the common people.

Realistically? The Korean Peninsula has nothing to offer besides being a buffer zone. Back then and now Korea is resource poor nothing to gain and no returns from it. You would be wasting time to even make it wroth wild. It was just far far better for China to just collect money from Korea and trade with Korea.
We should focus on how different the tribute relationship in ancient East Asia was compared to that outside of East Asia. This relationship is also referred to as "tribute trade (조공무역)." During that time, private trading was generally-or usually-prohibited, and the tribute relationship in ancient East Asia functioned as a form of official trade rather than a system for taxation. Interestingly, there were instances where China was reluctant to engage in the trading due to the economic burden of providing rewards that were three to five times the value of the tribute they received, while Korea actively asked for it. Moreover, the tribute relationship was less about actual subjugation and more about aligning with the order established by a powerful state while affirming sovereignty within that framework in ancient east asia.

@@TheRealGigachad1848 you should search what tributary means in the East Asian context. In the eyes of China you were either a foe or a tributary, Portugal and the Netherlands paid tribute to China for your information. And I don’t see anyone claiming that China ever conquered parts of Europe.
lol Qing and Mongols were not Chinese so we can exclude them. Are we also excluding William the Conqueror who ruled England as being not English but a French occupation?
The concept of Chinese came out 100 years ago. Before that, we were considered to be the Han regime, and Chinese refers to the complex of multiple ethnic groups, including Han
Historically, the Mongols and Manchus have been ruled by China for hundreds of years. According to Western standards, they belong to the concept of Chinese.
Rome did not have a dominant ethnic. Anyone who was ruled by Rome was called a Roman. According to this standard, the Manchus and Mongols are both Chinese, and their genes contain lots of Han genes.
@@zack7259 That’s not completely correct-the concept of “China” existed long before modern nationalism. What you’re referring to is the modern concept of “Chinese” as shaped by nationalism. However, in ancient times, “Chinese” exist but it was more of a cultural concept, akin to “Rome,” distinguishing civilized people from barbarians. This cultural framework, rooted in Confucian ideology, compelled Manchu Qing emperors to claim they were Chinese. Failing to do so would have relegated them to the status of barbarians according to traditional Confucian principles.
Man, Korea really had to struggle with imperialism for most of history... Always stepped on Now they're exporting their music everywhere and making boatloads of money so i guess they had the last laugh lol
People who live outside of Great Wall were not Chinese. Even after Mongols and Manchus conquered China, western people still called them Chinese, because they could not distinguish who are whom. Most western people thought every east Asian are Chinese until Gangnam Style came out. LOL
I don't think this is what ''this guy'' personally believes, this is more like Chinese historiography. I've read time and time again, that some dynasties, even though they controlled China and considered themselves the rulers of ''China" aren't considered truly Chinese. I'm not Chinese, nor an historian, so there might be some very important details I'm missing, but anyway, this reply is just to show that this is not something he made up. I think of it as if the Spanish had conquered The Inca, but instead of just being the Spanish Empire, they considered themselves successors or straight up the Inca Empire even though they weren't locals... idk, just a thought. Take it with a planet of salt.
There are some they are and there are some that aren't. In the case of both Mongols and Manchus they aren't for many reasons. Also? There is a difference between ethnic and cultural identity and it's the same as Nationalism. Too be fair White settlers aren't Americans either after all they took it.
@mapache-ehcapam Our understanding is different from yours, which may be caused by the lack of information. China is a geographical concept, that is, the Central Kingdom. This is more or less recognized by the surrounding countries. The emperor of the Central World is chosen by fate (the Mandate of Heaven), so there can only be one person at the same time. During the period of national division, the Mandate of Heaven was among them. After the country was unified, it was very clear where the Mandate of Heaven was, and this unified country would trace the spread of the Mandate of Heaven. It's like if the United States is divided into a and b, and b later unified a, then the United States after that will say that the country b during the period of division is the real and legitimate United States, and the unified United States now inherits from b, that is, the undivided United States-b period-the United States after unification.

It wasn't from a lack of effort as scores of invasions throughout history proves. However, just as the US annexed about half of Mexico through conquest, so the Chinese expanded into Manchuria, pushing the Koreans into the peninsular in the process.
Goguryeo didn't even exist when Han dynasty expanded into Manchuria. It was only when the collapse of Han dynasty that goguryeo gained control of manchuria, in a sense China retook their former territory.
@zackwang9314 Ha, but the Old Chosun kingdom ruled the area for millennial. The Han dynasty expanded north and conquered the kingdom. Gogureoh, therefore, was recovering lost territory from the Chinese.

The problem on why Korea was eventually taken over by the Japanese was the same as why China faced the "century of humiliation" because both failed to modernize quick enough or even bothered to. The Korean dynasty at that time, the Joseon and the Qing were both practicing isolationism whereas Japan by the 1870s were already in a massive reform movement that saw them modernizing at a rapid pace by becoming very industrialized and militarized with newer tech from Europe and even manufacturing guns that could rival American and European quality with their battle tactics. Whereas the Koreans and Qing China were still using swords, muskets and bows in their battlefields and worse still, zero industrialization capabilities to even touch any major powers of that time. Worse still, with Korea being a heavy tributary state to the Qing and despite heavy resistance to Qing's influence in the Korean peninsula, there's nothing they can do to reform anything as any attempt was brutally crushed. Thus when the Japanese slapped the Qing in the face, hard, during the First Sino-Japanese War, Korea was finally free from the hands of the Qing and thus in 1895 the very same year, they proclaimed independence from Qing control and with Gojong at the helm, they established the Korean Empire. HOWEVER, at this point, it was very late like what the Qing felt. Japan at this point was already rivalling European superpowers in terms of modernization and industrialization capabilities whereas for the Koreans, it just barely started and thus with that, when Japan came slamming into the peninsula in 1905, it was easily taken over as the Imperial Japanese Army showed how much force and potential it has that the Japanese forces in the region which would later become the Kwangtung Army had just defeated Russia, a superpower that had also modernized alot in the region and even took parts of the ancestral lands of the Manchu Qings and also took over the government property of the Russians. With that show of force and the sheer lack of power to fight back the Japanese and having the same developmental capability and factors as Qing China, the Koreans just folded and accepted the Japanese terms of "co-operation" only for Japan to stab them in the back and swallowed the whole nation into its control.
Gojoseon was larger than the land shown in the video. Korea used to be a land of Gojoseon from Gojoseon to Liaodong, Manchuria, and Vladivostok. After Gojoseon fell, Liaodong became Han territory. Goguryeo occupied Liaodong again

China didn't conquer Korea because they have them as a vassal and if you declare war on your vassal, you end up on -3 stability. It would take so much administrative mana to get your stability back up.

Not a vassal. The relationship is more of nominal tributary relationship. Korea was entirely independent and kept a mostly amicable relationship through diplomacy.
@@trex1448I actually genuinely agree with you
@@trex1448You can thank Shilla Dynasty for that. Manchuria used to be heavily contested during the Tang Dynasty
hello. As a Korean history major, I would like to point out one major error in this video: it portrays Korea's tribute to China as if it was for the benefit of China, when in fact it was the other way around.
To understand this, you need to understand two things: first, China has always had more than 10~15 times the population of Korea, so the economic benefits of exploiting Korea were largely meaningless to them. Second, and most importantly, the misconception is that tribute in East Asia is of a different, religious nature than in other parts of the world.
This misconception is widespread, even in modern East Asia, because Western civilization has replaced East Asian traditions.
To understand the relationship, it's important to understand Confucius' thought. Confucius saw the chaos of the Warring States period as fundamentally caused by the breakdown of state order, and advocated the restoration of family order as a solution.
In other words, state order can be restored in the same way as family order. This boils down to fathers fulfilling their roles - providing for their families, educating their children, etc. - and, conversely, children respecting their father's authority and being responsible for the livelihood of their elderly parents.
Confucius applied this relationship to the state order, with monarchs corresponding to fathers and subjects to children. The same logic applies precisely to foreign relations.
The ancient Chinese saw the world in three levels: first, China, the only civilized country in the world. Around this, they envisioned barbarian nations that were somewhat civilized, if not as civilized as China. These were called outer vassal or fence states because they were friendly to China (which translates to tributary states in English).
Then there are the uncivilized barbarian nations that have been largely untouched by China, who are considered the enemies of civilized China (usually the Mongols and Tungus).
Confucius perceived these barbarians as basically like children: he believed that, like children, they could be civilized by providing them with proper education, and from this, world peace could be achieved.
Just as it is not right to use violence against a child, it was the basic idea of Chinese intellectuals that in foreign relations, civilization should be pursued through "education" rather than violence.
So, just as you would reward a child for good behavior and punish them for bad behavior, if they learned Confucianism well, they would be recognized as "civilized barbarians" through a process whereby they would be granted tribute and the king of that country would be formally appointed as a vassal of the Chinese emperor (this is what a fence state is).
Herein lies the peculiarity: China rewarded the tribute-giving country with goods, on average, three to five times the value of the tribute.
However, if they were badly behaved, they would reduce the amount of tribute they were allowed (and receive fewer bounties), and if they were seriously bad, they would not be allowed tribute (the Ningbo incident, where Japan was stripped of its tribute rights by China, is an example of this).
Or worse, if you dethroned the king by force without just cause, you had a cause for war(Koguryeo-sui war).
This doesn't make sense at first glance, because outside of East Asia, tribute is a form of taxation, a payment from the conqueror to the conquered.
But if you think of it in terms of family relationships, it's very easy to understand: a child gives his father a portion of what he earns, and if the father is a strong and capable man, he will reward him with many times that amount.
This is the basic understanding of the tribute relationship.
So ancient China took this morality to the extreme, really more than you might think. The video makes it sound as if tribute slaves were a common practice, but in reality, there are no instances of the ancient Chinese empire demanding human tribute from foreign countries, such as women or slaves. Rather, China rejected a female slave sent from ancient Korea.
The reason for this slave tribute is the Mongols, who completely ignore the system. The later Ming Dynasty was also influenced by Mongol culture, and required slaves in the early years of its existence, but quickly abandoned it.
The relationship between the two countries was highlighted by Japan's invasion of Korea, where China provided enough rice to feed every Korean during the war. It also built roads and provided large amounts of silver coins to South Korea in response to criticism that rice was difficult to transport.
After the war ended, a permanent subsidy of 60,000 liang of silver was given annually to rebuild Korea's shattered military and economic strength. Other occasional grants of silver were also made, but due to exploitation by China's middle bureaucracy, Korea actually received less than this.
Finally, the video lumps all these different countries together and reduces them to modern China, which simplifies it to modern China vs. modern Korea, but that's not really the case, because countries like the Yao Dynasty, the Golden Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty were countries of groups that were ethnically, linguistically, and culturally distinct from the Han Chinese, the mainstream ethnic group in China. They were, to put it mildly, in the third tier.
So there are actually a lot more different dynamics, and it would be misleading to not describe them.
Yeah and I think this is further encouraged when history classes in the West teach us to compare the tribute system in China with others in the world like of the tribute system in the Aztec Empire.
Yo this guy that made this video ain't gon read what you wrote. He just makes videos for clicks, not based on facts lol

Chinese always say that Korea was part of China but not once they controlled whole peninsula. Only northenrn part which also was very momentarily during han dynasty. It was China that always was conquered and was slaved by nothern nomadic tribes. And in traditional Chinese perspective those dynasties of nomads were not considered Chinese history but ofc ccp came to power and they are now not only saying all of them are Chinese but also Korean dynasties are their regional history. And obviously most Chinese believe whatever CCP want them to believe like the good slaves they are.
No empires can be monoethnic, they always end up with different people. I will agree that mongols are not Chinese history but Manchus, Xianbeis have been intertwined with Chinese people and culture that they were fully sinicized.

I believe that Goguryeo history is a part of the history of Manchuria, as the Goguryeo had controlled the port city of Dalian, and the vast region of south Manchuria. Hence, the claim actually had a fact in it, and is not only due to your argument for indoctrination of the PRC. Furthermore, there was a period where the Chinese did rule over the Northern region of Korea, near Pyeongyang. It was a very long time ago and the regime is called the Wiman Joseon, perhaps you could search it up.
I did also notice your condescending tone at last, which perhaps does not help anyone in China realize their situation, but rather provokes them and leads to them stopping to listen to the things you are saying.

For westerners who don't know much about the history of Eastern war) 2:50
The expression "Million" does not simply mean a very large army, but actually, the emperor Yang of the Sui mobilized 1,133,800 army and 50,000 naval troops.
The numbers are astounding. Some battles fought in Europe, whose numbers were exaggerated by contemporary historians, fail to match the scale of those recorded during the Goguryeo-Sui wars.
This is a record of a large-scale mobilization of troops that had not been broken before World War I
Why westerners though ? What about the rest of the world ?
Ancient historians usally claimed it was three million, but the recent research found that it's actually 1.13 million.
Modern historians, such as David Graff, insist that 1.13 million was the total number of the people who participated the war. It includes transportation units, medics, and engineers as well as combat units.

It would be interesting if you cover the Imjin war and Admiral Lee Sun Shin. Admiral Lee Sun Shin is regarded by many to be the god of naval warfare. Even the English did not refuse to put him on the same pedestal as Admiral Nelson. What the English disregarded however, was that Admiral Nelson had full support from his country. Admiral Lee quite single handedly saved his country without the support of the government, sometimes the officials even conspiring against him. Not only did he win all battles against great odds, he earned the respect of the Japanese who were his enemies, as well as the Ming who considered the Korean army as their inferior. Some criticize the revisionist history, but such records of Admiral Lee can also be found from the Japanese and Chinese records.
Also one thing to note in that region near Northern China was always an area of tension between Han Chinese, Jurchen/Manchu, Mongols/Khitan, and Koreans. Accepting tribute from Korea and having an "ally" instead of forcing control more often than not was the right choice to balance the tensions there, so any Dynasty there would be better off keeping a native ruling class there instead of have direct administration. Tribute was good for both too. Chinese dynasties would have prestige and save face and Korean rulers would have legitimacy and access to the sweet Chinese markets.
@@ddwkc Yes, great point! Also, it was probably better off for the chinese to have a government that they could influence and talk to properly.
And before silla unified Korea the distinction between Jurchens and Northern Koreans (in Goguryeo especially) was not very clear.
The closest analogy I can come up with Korea being a tributary of China is how the Holy Roman Empire was considered the successor of Rome in Western Europe and the protector of Roman Catholic Christianity. Other Catholic monarchs won't call themselves an emperor to respect their authority, and when the HRE said it must retake Jerusalem all those monarchs at least pretended to listen. A relation similar to that was how Korea treated the Ming and the Qing Dynasties. During the Yuan Dynasty, on the other hand, it was more like how Burgundy or Bohemia was to the HRE: a vassal whose sovereignty was handed over to Karakorum, but in posession of significant power as a Mongolian equivalent of a Prince-elector.
I approve this comment as a Korean lol
Historically, some common enemy had always existed between Korea and Han China. Manchuria had been an independent area where many nomads arose and fell. In the ancient era, the Korean kingdoms of of Goguryeo and Balhae sided with the nomads to balance against China. However, in Goryeo/Song era, the nomads such as Göktürks, Khitans, Jürchens, and Mongolians, started to form independent nations. Both Goryeo and Song were forced into a total war against these nomads for more than a couple hundred years and even vassalized by the last enemy of Mongolia. Learning from this history, Joseon had had enough motivation to side with China to balance against these independent nomad nations.
It was short sighted, made to create an easier rule for the current period while guaranteeing strain for every future period of rule.
If they didn't have common fears to pair them or if China could truly commit itself to taking Korea then that would have been the move to make.

1. Japan is part of south east asia, (going off european standards), China is part of central eurasia.
2.Tributary is not equivalent to vassalization, confucianism is a political philosophy - not a "religion"
3.China didnt conquer korea, But they did Vassalize them much like japan did in 1905 - 1910- i dont blame sidequest since this stuff is trampled over - it's called the 1882 china korea treaty when korea attempted to rapidly self modernize. In this treaty - it's essentially the root why korea was so weak and japan became a modern colonialist power - being that china prevented korea from industrializing from 1882 to 1894 - then japan saved them.
it should be acknowledged the Korean Peninsula as a whole is the second most developed non-European nation right before Japan's Meiji Restoration in 1868; Korea's occurred in 1894 (it could have happened earlier, but Korea was transformed into a semi-colony by backward China in 1882 WHICH PREVENTED KOREA FROM RAPIDLY INDUSTRIALIZING LIKE JAPAN after Korea was opened by Japan in 1876). Refer to the China-Korea Treaty of 1882, along with the declaration of the Korean Empire when Japan assisted in restoring Korea's full autonomy following the Japanese victory in the Sino-Japanese War, and the elimination of medievalism into the capitalist globalized world system - North Eurasian Korea attempted in it's short 10 year rapid self industrialization from 1895-1905 to be able to stand it's own amidst the Northern Eurasian Russian + some central Eurasian Mongols vs South Eurasian Japanese rivalry which occured in the sea of japan - after South eurasian Japan Defeated it's South Eurasian Chinese neighbor.
the swift self-modernization quickly concluded after the Japanese triumph over the Russians in 1905, during which Japan converted Korea into a semi-colony and eventually fully conquering them. This was the only instance when Korea had been entirely conquered ( the closest and only instance being 80 years of being a mongol vassal NOT CONQUERED, BUT A VASSAL), and compared to all Eastern European nations with their centuries of vassalage and colonization in the medieval and modern periods, Korea's experience lasted only 35 years.
which is - at the very least - equally as shameful as many of the european nations and even colonialist countries being conquered by their foreign neighbors - the list includes norway, finland, colonialists such as Sweden during the Kalmar Union, Portugal during the Iberian Union, Spanish and Austrian territories in netherlands and belgium, Norman French rule in England, and so on - ( Europe/West eurasia was a deeply darwinistic dog eat dog world - a product of being a deeply logical, analytic, and rational subregion of eurasia, Compared that with East eurasia - the polar opposite - a historical deeply peaceful and irrational, empirically emotional, homogenous and authoritarian subregion of eurasia. However, West eurasia triumphed by initiating the age of exploration, Darwinist colonialism, and industrial revolution - the product being a globalized world which was shown during the two "world wars")
Also, Korea is geographically part of northern asia, like the russian far east and the ainuic islands of sakhalin, kurils, and hokkaido. Calling china and japan part of north east asia would be like calling north africa and turkey part of europe - because more than 50 percent of china and japan are as south as the middle east and north africa - we must go off western european geographical standards. Japan is part of southern eurasia analogous to north africa, and china part of central eurasia analagous to the levant and anatolia, and korea is part of eastern eurasia - analogous to italy and
Russia - is analogous to the entirety of western european peninsula lol in eurasia.
To those who think koreans are dogs to the japanese, both countries admitted to change during globalization. The difference was that Korea had their only friend, china - which mind you was korea's only contact with civilization for thousands of years - telling and threatening them not to substitute confucian political philosophy for modern philosophy and capitalism when they tried to do so after seeing the western powers ravage china- Japan on the other hand is a southern island - both countries have things they are proud of - In my perspective korea's geography in relation to western europe is a remarkable thing as it's parallel and ALMOST NEVER being conquered, while japan was the first non european nation to have a colonial modern empire and never being conquered. Both are equal and unique.
lol, According to ancient Korean historical records, Koreans (Joseon Dynasty) literally regarded and declared themself as Little China (Sojunghwa) or "Remains of Chinese Civilization" when the Ming dynasty collapsed and was replaced by the barbarian Manchu Qing dynasty...The Korean culture, the Korean language, the Korean names...were heavily Chinese-based and Chinese inlfunced.

They did, large portions of Northern China was once Manchuria, and before that, the kingdom of Goguryeo, a proto-Korean state.
Proper question is: why China could not conquer Korea.
U failed history. Joseon was vassal of China after the fall of Baekje. Conquer and colonize, whatever term you choose, Korea was subjugated by China.
고대 전투에서 중국을 한국이 다 이겨고 강력한 북방민족과의 전쟁에서 한국이 다 승리함.이기지 못한 전쟁은 한국의 내전으로 인해 패배한것이 2번😢
Historically Koreans and han-Chinese had always been the allies fighting against northern invaders together, until the Chinese government began to claim these invaders were also “Chinese.” Suddenly the Koreans became the enemies and the conquered inferior people. Koreans are like “bruh…” That’s a such huge backstabbing move.
Another thing the video is missing is that the tributary system in east Asian worked differently than the western one. Culturally, recognizing Chinese emperor’s heavenly mandate seemed as a beautiful thing. The relationship between the emperors and the kings is more of brotherly and parent-children one. Financially, Koreans made money by making so called tributary trips. The Chinese emperors returned more gifts in return, with a few exceptions of Mongols, early Jin and Liao which actually took stuff from the Koreans, but they were arguably non-Chinese dynasties.
One can argue that over the last 2000 years, the Koreans and Han-Chinese people only fought 4 major wars. The Han empire, the Wei dynasty, the red turban rebels, and the communist China.
1. Japan is part of south east asia, (going off european standards), China is part of central eurasia.
2.Tributary is not equivalent to vassalization, confucianism is a political philosophy - not a "religion"
3.China didnt conquer korea, But they did Vassalize them much like japan did in 1905 - 1910- i dont blame sidequest since this stuff is trampled over - it's called the 1882 china korea treaty when korea attempted to rapidly self modernize. In this treaty - it's essentially the root why korea was so weak and japan became a modern colonialist power - being that china prevented korea from industrializing from 1882 to 1894 - then japan saved them.
it should be acknowledged the Korean Peninsula as a whole is the second most developed non-European nation right before Japan's Meiji Restoration in 1868; Korea's occurred in 1894 (it could have happened earlier, but Korea was transformed into a semi-colony by backward China in 1882 WHICH PREVENTED KOREA FROM RAPIDLY INDUSTRIALIZING LIKE JAPAN after Korea was opened by Japan in 1876). Refer to the China-Korea Treaty of 1882, along with the declaration of the Korean Empire when Japan assisted in restoring Korea's full autonomy following the Japanese victory in the Sino-Japanese War, and the elimination of medievalism into the capitalist globalized world system - North Eurasian Korea attempted in it's short 10 year rapid self industrialization from 1895-1905 to be able to stand it's own amidst the Northern Eurasian Russian + some central Eurasian Mongols vs South Eurasian Japanese rivalry which occured in the sea of japan - after South eurasian Japan Defeated it's South Eurasian Chinese neighbor.
the swift self-modernization quickly concluded after the Japanese triumph over the Russians in 1905, during which Japan converted Korea into a semi-colony and eventually fully conquering them. This was the only instance when Korea had been entirely conquered ( the closest and only instance being 80 years of being a mongol vassal NOT CONQUERED, BUT A VASSAL), and compared to all Eastern European nations with their centuries of vassalage and colonization in the medieval and modern periods, Korea's experience lasted only 35 years.
which is - at the very least - equally as shameful as many of the european nations and even colonialist countries being conquered by their foreign neighbors - the list includes norway, finland, colonialists such as Sweden during the Kalmar Union, Portugal during the Iberian Union, Spanish and Austrian territories in netherlands and belgium, Norman French rule in England, and so on - ( Europe/West eurasia was a deeply darwinistic dog eat dog world - a product of being a deeply logical, analytic, and rational subregion of eurasia, Compared that with East eurasia - the polar opposite - a historical deeply peaceful and irrational, empirically emotional, homogenous and authoritarian subregion of eurasia. However, West eurasia triumphed by initiating the age of exploration, Darwinist colonialism, and industrial revolution - the product being a globalized world which was shown during the two "world wars")
Also, Korea is geographically part of northern asia, like the russian far east and the ainuic islands of sakhalin, kurils, and hokkaido. Calling china and japan part of north east asia would be like calling north africa and turkey part of europe - because more than 50 percent of china and japan are as south as the middle east and north africa - we must go off western european geographical standards. Japan is part of southern eurasia analogous to north africa, and china part of central eurasia analagous to the levant and anatolia, and korea is part of eastern eurasia - analogous to italy and
Russia - is analogous to the entirety of western european peninsula lol in eurasia.
To those who think koreans are dogs to the japanese, both countries admitted to change during globalization. The difference was that Korea had their only friend, china - which mind you was korea's only contact with civilization for thousands of years - telling and threatening them not to substitute confucian political philosophy for modern philosophy and capitalism when they tried to do so after seeing the western powers ravage china- Japan on the other hand is a southern island - both countries have things they are proud of - In my perspective korea's geography in relation to western europe is a remarkable thing as it's parallel and ALMOST NEVER being conquered, while japan was the first non european nation to have a colonial modern empire and never being conquered. Both are equal and unique.
You forgot Sui and Tang
It was the Manchu ruled Qing dynasty that imposed the multi-ethnic identiy on China. Between 1644-1911 Han Chinese grew to accept Manchus, Mongols, Tibetans, Uyghurs, and yes its ethnic Koreans as also Chinese.

The north of the Great Wall is not Chinese territory.It was dominated by Mongolians and Manchurians,Koreans.Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall to prevent the so-called Northern Orangkae.After that, China was conquered by the KimDynasty and Mongolia established by descendants of Kim Ham-bo of the Silla Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty was conquered by the Manchurians and ruled for 300 years.
Manchurian Wonryugo (滿考洲源), compiled during the Qing Dynasty's Qianlongje, also identified the origin of the founder of the Kim Dynasty as Silla, and the national name of the Kim Dynasty also revealed that his founder's surname originated from the surname Kim of the King of Silla.
The Gojoseon civilization was 1,500 years ahead of the Yellow River civilization in China
"The Gojoseon civilization, which emerged 5,000 years ago, was the third ancient civilization in the world to be formed after the Mesopotamian civilization (5500 years ago) and the Egyptian civilization (5100 years ago). It comprehensively summarizes the origins and birth of Gojoseon civilization, socio-economic foundations and cultural characteristics, and the foundation, development, and dismantlement of ancient countries
About 12,000 years ago, when the Ice Age ended, people who started farming on the ancient Korean Peninsula below the 40th parallel north latitude succeeded in cultivating single-grained rice and beans for the first time in the world. As a result of the Neolithic agricultural revolution, the number of groups living in the Namhangang River and Geumgang River basins increased significantly, and some of them gradually moved to the north, where farming was possible. Those located in the east of Joha became the Ye people whose tigers were totem, and those who crossed to the west of Joha became the Mac people whose bears were totem.
Professor Shin claims that Gojoseon moved the capital to Liaodong 1,000 years later to absorb the Yejok, and expanded its territory to the east and west to build an ancient federal state spanning the Korean Peninsula, Manchuria, and Primorsky. He said, "The Korean, Ye, and Mac tribes that lead to the Korean people form the center of Gojoseon, and nomadic tribes that have been conquered and merged such as Eupru, Hunno, Dolgul, and Mongolia are located around."

@@yihandeng5230 There are many history and stories in Korea as well.
Just as Europe is interesting, Korea has an interesting history.
For example, I recommend the story of the first Joseon king and his son
Another reason China couldn’t conquer Korea is that they were unable to properly develop Liaodong, a territory close to Korea, due to technological limitations, harsh climatic and terrain conditions. Without a strong population base in Liaodong to support their military expeditions, they encountered significant supply issues on their way to Korea.
BTW, Liadong is one of the places of origin of Korean people.
Wrong, during the collapse of the eastern Han dynasty, the Liaodong commandry was still able to defeat Korean tribes and force them to pay tribute. You heard that right, Liaodong alone held the Korean tribes as tributaries. Later the province was depopulated forcefully when the governor scorned Cao Cao. Liaodong would later be rebuilt under the Tang, Liao, Yuan, Ming and Qing as a key military hub, Ming, Yuan and Qing could have conquered Korea but none of them chose to do so.
@@muchsoso8468 Liaodong is the region which ancient Chinese dubbed the "Eastern Barbarians", now called

I guess that makes perfect sense, since Chinese dynasties failed to permanently conquer Vietnam, Outer Mongolia, and Tibet (before late Qing) for I guess the same reason.
This is not real history.
In the past, Korea's land was more vast.
Otherwise, no matter how wise they were, they could not stop the invasion of Asians.
Until recently, our country had occupied Manchuria, Beijing, and the south.
It wasn't until Joseon that we reached the Korean Peninsula and Gando.
And history is wrong because of the distortion of history between Japan and China.
The distortion of history is still ongoing to this day.
The Han have never occupied a large area of land.
The vast land of China was created by the northern peoples of Asia.

In the Sui Dynasty, the shipping industry was not well developed, and soldiers had to walk on land. The supply lines were long, the mountains were high, the roads were long, the weather was cold, and the Korean Peninsula had no resources. Koreans all ate kimchi, and there were no spoils of war. It was really an unprofitable war. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that a strong navy was established. Zheng He's fleet sailed south to the Indian Ocean and even to the coast of Africa. After returning to China, he closed the country and called himself the Celestial Empire. The four seas were all barbarians.

There are many controversies about the territories including the Han Vassal kingdoms in Korean Peninsular and contemporary chinese territories north to modern Korea. Skipping over such points and just shortly focusing on what those so called Chinese kingdoms were tells a lot. Han, it could be Chinese. Let's count 1, Soo, that ruling class came from nomads not chinese(at least at that time), Tang, the same(could be, many believe). Chitan, the same. Just add Tang. Then 2. After that, Song, Ming. 2 Chinese dynasties which never could cross Korean border. Total 4 kingdoms at best(Chinese origin, Power in Chinese continent). Whatever afflicted Korea were mostly not Chinese origins. On the contrary. Han(Chinese, main tribe) people were very rarely independent...😮
중국땅에 한족은 소수임
Wasn't Khitan Liao more like nomadic tribes like Mongol or Manchu, rather than Han Chinese who lived on permanent city?
They are nomads.
Khitan not even hold chinese proper
Khitans were highly sinicized later into their rule, look up their clothing style found in Liao tomb murals, they look practically the same as Song Hanfu except their shaved hairstyle. Also like Mongolian Yuan, they learned to build cities and settled in northern China, the 8 great Liao architectures remaining today are all in Chinese style, none of them have any traces of nomadic lifestyle.
Even the emperor kubulai didn't think is still more Mongolian.During the Yuan Dynasty, kithans were classified as Han people.
@刘卫皇-v2j because they more sinicized than mongol
Tributes are just a sign of Korea's promise not to invade China. At that time, China was in conflict with many countries at the border, from east to west, north to south, and so on, so this promise was needed. Because even if one million soldiers were mobilized in the past, all were annihilated and the country was destroyed twice.
The idea of Korea invading China is like saying Guatemala will invade the US. GTFO with your fantasy.
As an American soldier who was stationed in Korea for three years I could summarize why Korea wasn’t conquered thusly:
The summers are hot
The winters are cold
And there’s a shit ton of mountains
This isn’t the reason why the Chinese didn’t conquer Korea, the Chinese never attempted to wage total war on Korea. The simple reason is the Korean kingdoms paid tributes to China.
Im Korean. You forgot the fact that there are hundreds of rivers in Korea from small one to large one. So invaders had to wait until winter came.
@Mike-bt3ki No. China wasn't even a neighbor of Korea. There were Mongols and Jurchens in the North.
The great wall is located in Beijing. China was inside the great wall. If China was getting invaded by Mongols and Jurchens, how can they invade Korea? Lol
Thank you for your service
Guess what winter in northern parts of China is way colder
Short answer: they couldn't.
Thank you for a new video!
Above topography and shrewd diplomacy, it was the bravery and tenacity of Korean populace who never gave up fighting against Chinese invaders that made Korean identity to survive until these days.
한국인입니다. 고대지도가 잘못되도 한참 잘못됐네요. 중국이 원하는 지도대로 그렸네요. 한국에서는 저런 고대지도를 인정하지 않습니다. 현 중국 북경의 자리는 고대 고조선과 고구려, 고려때까지 한국땅이었습니다.
One thing I want to point out as a Korean is that the Joseon Dynasty of Korea (late 1300s - late 1800s) wanted to pay more tributes to Ming/Qing, and the Chinese/Manchurians wanted less. This seems illogical at first glance, however, it was actually Korea that was taking the advantage out of the tributes.
Joseon did pay with luxurious goods and concubines, however, Joseon received everyday goods (e.g. rice) and chances to trade in China for return. Since select items from Joseon (e.g. Red Ginseng) were considered the best in the world, Joseon wanted more opportunities to trade in China and make profits. This explains why Joseon wanted to pay tributes more times than Ming/Qing wanted.
But why did Ming/Qing needed to take the tributes from Joseon at all, if they were actually losing money on those tributes? It is because the ruling families of Ming/Qing needed Joseon to pay tribute to them so that they can show their people they are strong and have everything under control. It proved their legitimacy to rule, since they called themselves Son of the Sky(God). This means Ming/Qing wanted it to happen once a while, not the amount Joseon wanted it to.
they don't actually need tribute. why it is explotive is tribute are basically abuse as trade without taxes and tariff, so the court lose money if the good has come in as diplomatic goods instead of trading goods... just like today, China is the biggest market in the world, if you don't have to pay tax to sell your stuff in China, you will be rich, and Chinese government would have a big hole in their revenue... and worst they have to sell the goods for you since they need money to buy goods to return as gift.
@@BloodyNapkin25 westerners don’t understand how tribute work.

@@lagrangewei if china didn't need tributes, why did they ast for countless tributes over a long period of time?

Modern China also wants to form a China-centered East Asian union, which is why it is in conflict with Korea.
In fact, the Korean left seems to be showing pro-China behavior and trying to shift to a China-centric approach.

1. China Didn't(X), Couldn't(O) conquer
Between Korea and central China lies an immense expanse of unfarmable wasteland, inhabited by numerous barbarian tribes.
Given the military technology and mobilization capabilities of the era of cold weapons, even China would have found it nearly impossible to overcome these obstacles and successfully occupy the Korean Peninsula.
If any Chinese dynasty ignored these barriers and attempted to conquer Korea, it would have inevitably weakened itself to the point of collapse.
2. No reason to be hostile to Korea.
China was surrounded by numerous barbarian tribes.
In such a situation, antagonizing Korea, a civilization with a similar agrarian settlement structure, would have been a foolish move.
Thus, China formed an alliance with Korea, akin to a NATO-style coalition.
As a result, Korea played a crucial role in keeping the northeastern barbarians in check on behalf of China.
Evidence of this can be seen in the repeated instances where northern barbarians, before threatening mainland China, first attacked or diplomatically pressured Korea to secure the safety of their rear and flank.

That's an interesting video. I want to share with you all the historical facts. If we look at history, we can see that China has made a lot of attempts and efforts to annex the Korean Peninsula.
China destroyed Gojoseon through its strong military power during the Han Dynasty. However, there were several countries around the area that were Korea's ancestors, the Yemaek and Han(韓) Korean. Among them, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla stood out, and they formed Korea's Three Kingdoms Period.
United China's invasion of Korea is as follows.
Goguryo-Sui War 1: China (the Sui Dynasty) launched wars against Goguryeo with 300,000 troops. However, it was defeated by Goguryeo troops, and the Sui army was wiped out. After the defeated soldiers returned, the Sui distorted and concealed in its history book that about 80 to 90 percent of its troops were killed in "Rain and Typhoon," not by Goguryeo, but later in another history book, Gudangseo, it is recorded as being defeated by Goguryeo.
"In the days of Emperor Mun, the world was strong and caused a million troops, but it was rather defeated by Goguryeo."
-History of Tang
Goguryeo-Su War 2: The Sui Yangje invaded Goguryeo with 1,133,800. However, they were not able to advance to the Liaodong front, and Suyangje infiltrated 305,000 soldiers into Pyongyang by making an army annexe and sent tens of thousands of sailors to replenish supplies to try to capture the capital, Pyongyang. However, 40,000 sailors were brutally defeated by 500 Goguryeo commanders and 305,000 soldiers were wiped out by the Battle of Salsu.
Goguryeo-Su War 3: Hundreds of thousands of troops are mobilized. However, it has consumed so much national power in Goguryeo's expeditions that a rebellion breaks out in China. It retreated from the Sui Dynasty army, but was attacked by Goguryeo that killed tens of thousands of people.
Fourth: The Sui Dynasty finally captured one castle! However, the Sui Dynasty was on the verge of collapse and rebelled against it. The Suiyangje is captured by insurgents. Eventually, he kills himself crying, leaving a message like, "Don't touch the corpse, because I was the emperor anyway."
Goguryeo-Tang War 1: Emperor Taizong of Tang mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops. Taizong was a capable monarch. Although he paid off by capturing Goguryeo's northern castles. But he was defeated at Ansi. After returning home, Emperor Taizong of Tang demanded a history book and opened it in defiance of his servants' dissuasion. There was a record of his defeat. Emperor Taizong of Tang was angry at this and reduced the historical records.
2nd round: Emperor Gaozong of the Tang think that he cannot destroy Goguryeo by himself alone. So Tang forms an alliance with Silla, Goguryeo's enemy. Silla also accepts it because they was difficult due to Goguryeo's attacks. They promise that Silla will rule the south and Tang the north based on the Daedong River. The Tang first destroyed Baekje with Silla, and then invaded Goguryeo. However, Tang lost the Battle of Sasu and retreats with the salvation and supply of Silla's forces.
Third: An internal strife broke out in Goguryeo. The Tang and Silla invaded Goguryeo during this time, which was destroyed by the fall of its capital, Pyongyang.
Silla-Tang War: At first, Tang and Silla promised that Silla would own land south of the Daedong River, but Tang had no intention of keeping its promise. Tang send Governor to Baekje. And they even send Governo to Silla, an independent country. As a result, Silla preemptively attacks the Tang and a war breaks out. The Tang sent 200,000 troops, but the war ended in Silla's victory with the Battle of Masung and Kibeolpo.
Balhae: Balhae was founded on Goguryeo's land by proclaiming its succession. They are recognized as a nation by preventing several invasions by Tang and attacking the Shandong Peninsula of Tang.
Goryeo: Earlier Sui, Tang had one of China's greatest powers in history, but the Song Dynasty that existed during Goryeo was not as strong as they were and did not border Goryeo. Therefore, it was never close to Goryeo. Instead, the Khitan Empire, which was hostile to the Song Dynasty, invaded Goryeo. Goryeo fought back by sending 300,000 troops, but suffered a major crisis when it lost the Battle of Tongju. But with General Yang Gyu's performance, Goryeo's General Kang Gam-chan used hundreds of thousands of troops to annihilate the Khitan's 100,000 elite fighters during War III. This led to a call from within the Song Dynasty for establishing friendly relations with Goryeo to fight the Khitan.
And with this, the dynasty of Han Chinese no longer wanted to annex Korea. After so many battles, Korea was able to remain a separate country from China. Imagine you are a Han Chinese emperor. You want to attack the Korean Peninsula. You declare that you will mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops. Then your servants will say in opposition, "Your Majesty, read the History Book. If we launch an invasion, our damage will be severe, too."

If you simply draw such a conclusion after watching this video, then you are misled! The history of China and the Korean Peninsula is not just a history of annexation, but more of it is about defending the Korean Peninsula! Let me tell you, in 663 AD, the Tang Dynasty of China sent troops and united with Silla to defeat the Japanese invasion! In 1592 and 1597 AD, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to unite with the Kingdom of Chosun and once again defeated the Japanese invasion of the Korean Peninsula! In 1895, the Qing Dynasty failed in the war to defend Korea again! In 1910, the Kingdom of Korea was annexed by Japan and began colonial rule! Since the Tang Dynasty, China has hardly invaded the Korean Peninsula dynasty, and basically maintained a tributary relationship! Especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, they all played the role of defenders!
如果你看完这个视频就简单的得出这样一个结论，那么你就被误导了！中国和朝鲜半岛历史，不仅仅是吞并历史，其中更多的保卫朝鲜半岛！我来告诉你，公元663年，中国唐朝出兵，联合新罗，击败了日本的侵略！公元1592.1597年明朝出兵联合朝鲜王国，再一次击败了日本对朝鲜半岛侵略！1895年，清朝在再次保卫朝鲜的战争中失败！1910年朝鲜王国被日本吞并，并开始殖民统治！中国自从唐以后就几乎没有对朝鲜半岛王朝侵略过，基本维持朝贡国关系！尤其是明朝清朝时代，都是担负着保卫者角色！
@shkunwen Thank you for sharing your opinion. I understand what you want to say. But since there is an error in your argument, I will talk about it.
You view the Japanese military in the Battle of the Baek River as well as the Japanese military in the Joseon-Japan War as the same, but you are wrong. First of all, Japan in the ancient period was a relatively underdeveloped country due to the nature of its isolated region as an island, and it was not such a strong opponent for China and the countries on the Korean Peninsula. You may have said that the Korean Peninsula was in crisis due to the Battle of the Baek River, but it is not true. Rather, Japan and the Baekje Revival Army were inferior and were easily removed by the Silla and Tang Dynasty. Japan's threats were made to both countries through large-scale Japanese pirates of the period of the Northern and Southern dynasties, and the military rise after the reunification of the Sengoku period. You seem to overestimate the Japanese military during the Battle of the Baek River.
Second, in the Battle of Baek river, the Japanese military is not an invading force. The Japanese military was sent to support the Baekje Revival Army during the Battle of Baek river, which had a different purpose than Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who tried to conquer the Korea and China. At that time, Japan had a closer relationship with Baekje among the Korean Peninsula nations of Silla and Baekje. Therefore, it helped the Baekje Revival Army work. Interpreting this as an attempt by Japan to invade and annex the Korean Peninsula is like concluding that "Korea invade China" on the basis that Joseon maintained close ties with the Ming Dynasty, opposed the Qing Dynasty, and sent reinforcements to the Battle of Sarhü.

Many kingdoms in China attacked Korea, but they were defeated by Korea and the country itself disappeared. So many countries did, and so did the party. Moreover, Korea was a brother to the nomads of Central and North Asia, and Turkey, so China had to have strong military or diplomatic power enough to be ready to fight against other nomads in order to attack Korea to avoid being invaded by them. In fact, diplomacy between the two countries was so fierce that diplomats from South Korea and China were sent to the palace several times to prevent the palace from striking China's rear, and on some days, diplomats from South Korea and China accidentally visited the palace together. It is not that China did not attack Korea because it was weak, but because Korea was strong.

Korea did not protect the Korean Peninsula peacefully, but defended it with blood by fighting against China and northern powers for thousands of years. It is impossible to maintain independence through diplomacy alone without any force.
And the Khitan, Mongolia, and Jurchen (Qing) are not China. The last real war between China and Korea was against the Tang Dynasty. The last time Korea almost went to war with China was in 1388 when Goryeo dispatched an army to invade the Ming Dynasty, but the commander rebelled, destroying the Goryeo Dynasty and establishing the Joseon Dynasty.
Lastly, Goryeo's ability to defend its dynasty from the Mongols had nothing to do with supporting the Japanese invasion. When Kublai Khan was struggling for power with Ariq Buka, Goryeo sided with Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan was grateful for this and did not destroy Goryeo, but married his daughter to the king of Goryeo and maintained the Goryeo dynasty.
ya, it is usually Korea that attack China and not the other way around... xD
Korea is recognized universally as a country rather than a regional occupation. Naturally, the influential people of the world will increase the value of the Won to prevent the regional rebellion from recruiting fresh-out-of-jail gangsters from around the world (and, most importantly, to encourage the best-educated and strongest families to go to Korea to shut down the rebellion). They are trying to increase the value of their currency by having constant rebellions back-to-back. Remember, they are connected with the USA: they are VERY TOXIC, and their "revolution" was based on wanting to be wild cruel children forever, rather than on human rights, or on greed. There is a sort of "framework" to it, where rather than just a child, you need to be "children" with them actually (it's an interpersonal rather than intrapersonal thing for them to face off against the world. They're not one-man-vs-the-world. They're a cult which contaminates religious groups.)
I'm only saying this because I'm ethically required to. I don't have any particular disagreement with you in this matter after reading what you've said.
The real questions are: How similar were Sejong-era 'realreforms' to George Washington's or Alexander The Great's reforms? Are they less real than other reforms?
Does China believe in any concept of human rights to any degree (anything beyond making sure that Chinese people can easily learn about the Chinese government, and that Chinese people never need to do anything more than to learn about their government in order to ensure that they themselves will never need to worry about human rights ever again)?
Shouldn't China be keeping exactly as much of a distance from Korea as they currently are?
Just because someone is happy in China now, does that mean that he will DEFINITELY choose to live a perfect and peaceful life in China rather than to help others who haven't successfully managed to cross the border and inhabit the country? Don't all immigrants to China unanimously agree?

A massive cope by Chinese nationalists that they love to repeat is that Korea was a "vassal" of China and therefore a part of China. China's vassal/tribute system was symbolic and more like a diplomatic mission + trade agreement that they offered to certain countries they could not conquer or mess with (hence why Koreans don't speak Chinese even today). Basically, the vassal state would agree to recognize the Chinese emperor, pay him a small gift, and agree not to attack China.
In exchange, China would agree to pay back the vassal state significantly more than what it paid as a gift to the Emperor, and give the vassal greater access to the Chinese market for trading purposes. Korean dynasties became stinking rich by doing this. In fact, the Korean government kept negotiating to be allowed to send more tribute missions per year while the Chinese government was trying to lower the number since it was draining their wealth each time Korea sent a tribute mission.
Japan also requested to be allowed to send more tributary missions. Funny thing is, the British Empire was also a tributary state of China. So was the Dutch Empire. The Manchus who would later conquer and rule China as its last dynasty was also a tributary state of China. Basically, China's vassal system was more like a "Recognize our ruler and give him a small symbolic gift, in exchange we will pay you back many fold."

Korea was the only country that Genghis khan's Mongol empire invaded and (ultimately) achieved military victory against but wouldn't (or couldn't) put under its direct rule. Compare Korea with other countries of the time such as China, Russia, Iran, Hungary, Afghanistan, Tangut, etc., which were all dissolved as national entities and directly incorporated into the Mongol empire. It was because of the Mongols' respect for the Koreans' fighting spirit and prospect of the fierce resistance if they did so as well as the knowledge that they wouldn't be the only ones who failed to fully subjugate them historically.
Only nomadic empires(Mongol, Manchu) defeated and vassalized Korea.
This is because supplying troops was nightmare for sedentary Han Chinese.
First, Liao swamp/river was difficult to invade, and deadly to retreat.
Second, Qian Shan mountain range boosted defense of Goguryeo's legendary mountain fortresses.
Third, Changbai mountain range had one chokepoint to enter the Korean peninsular.
Invaders had to break all three in 8 months, or retreat while starving, freezing, and being attacked.
Mongol succeeded by raiding and massacring Koreans until they surrendered.

We should focus on how different the tribute relationship in ancient East Asia was compared to that outside of East Asia.
This relationship is also referred to as "tribute trade (조공무역)." During that time, private trading was generally-or usually-prohibited, and the tribute relationship in ancient East Asia functioned as a form of official trade rather than a system for taxation. Interestingly, there were instances where China was reluctant to engage in the trading due to the economic burden of providing rewards that were three to five times the value of the tribute they received, while Korea actively asked for it.
Moreover, the tribute relationship was less about actual subjugation and more about aligning with the order established by a powerful state while affirming sovereignty within that framework in ancient east asia.
Korea has less than 80 years of history and cultures of their own. Case closed.

@@zack7259 That’s not completely correct-the concept of “China” existed long before modern nationalism. What you’re referring to is the modern concept of “Chinese” as shaped by nationalism. However, in ancient times, “Chinese” exist but it was more of a cultural concept, akin to “Rome,” distinguishing civilized people from barbarians. This cultural framework, rooted in Confucian ideology, compelled Manchu Qing emperors to claim they were Chinese.

@mapache-ehcapam
Our understanding is different from yours, which may be caused by the lack of information. China is a geographical concept, that is, the Central Kingdom. This is more or less recognized by the surrounding countries. The emperor of the Central World is chosen by fate (the Mandate of Heaven), so there can only be one person at the same time. During the period of national division, the Mandate of Heaven was among them. After the country was unified, it was very clear where the Mandate of Heaven was, and this unified country would trace the spread of the Mandate of Heaven. It's like if the United States is divided into a and b, and b later unified a, then the United States after that will say that the country b during the period of division is the real and legitimate United States, and the unified United States now inherits from b, that is, the undivided United States-b period-the United States after unification.

Gi Ja was of the Dong il stock and they were just returning home after the Shang kingdom collapsed. And at its height, Choseon kingdom ruled both Yeosur and Yeodong area. Bigger than Gogureoh.
As a Chinese, you raised an intriguing question and explained it better than any Chinese could!
你这样的辣鸡，别说你是中国人。你不配。乐色！
마지막 중국을 식민 지배한 청나라 역시 한국의 줄기로 한국인을 중국인보다 높은서열로 두고 있었다
Bravo! Bravo! Between the comments and the video, I learned so much today!🎉
Great video, keep up the good work :)
This video truly taught me a lot about Daniel give me coffee 🎅🏿🇮🇴
The problem on why Korea was eventually taken over by the Japanese was the same as why China faced the "century of humiliation" because both failed to modernize quick enough or even bothered to.
The Korean dynasty at that time, the Joseon and the Qing were both practicing isolationism whereas Japan by the 1870s were already in a massive reform movement that saw them modernizing at a rapid pace by becoming very industrialized and militarized with newer tech from Europe and even manufacturing guns that could rival American and European quality with their battle tactics.
Whereas the Koreans and Qing China were still using swords, muskets and bows in their battlefields and worse still, zero industrialization capabilities to even touch any major powers of that time. Worse still, with Korea being a heavy tributary state to the Qing and despite heavy resistance to Qing's influence in the Korean peninsula, there's nothing they can do to reform anything as any attempt was brutally crushed. Thus when the Japanese slapped the Qing in the face, hard, during the First Sino-Japanese War, Korea was finally free from the hands of the Qing and thus in 1895 the very same year, they proclaimed independence from Qing control and with Gojong at the helm, they established the Korean Empire.
HOWEVER, at this point, it was very late like what the Qing felt. Japan at this point was already rivalling European superpowers in terms of modernization and industrialization capabilities whereas for the Koreans, it just barely started and thus with that, when Japan came slamming into the peninsula in 1905, it was easily taken over as the Imperial Japanese Army showed how much force and potential it has that the Japanese forces in the region which would later become the Kwangtung Army had just defeated Russia, a superpower that had also modernized alot in the region and even took parts of the ancestral lands of the Manchu Qings and also took over the government property of the Russians. With that show of force and the sheer lack of power to fight back the Japanese and having the same developmental capability and factors as Qing China, the Koreans just folded and accepted the Japanese terms of "co-operation" only for Japan to stab them in the back and swallowed the whole nation into its control.
미국 영국이 천문학적인 돈과 군사력을 일본한테 제공하고 아시아를 혼란에 빠지게 만든것임.미국영국이 뒤에서 일본을 조정하고 있었고 그래서 한국을 지배하게 한 세력이 미국 영국임.미국 영국이 한국한테 중국 침략하자고 했는데 한국이 거부하고 일본이 찬성해서 근대화한것임
Welcome back sidequest!
I believe the title should be changed to "couldn't" instead of "didn't"
@@hippo_nuggets nope Yuan, Ming and Qing both could, and some did, though all chose not to conquer Korea.
@@lolasdm6959 Literally watched a video about how multiple attempts were made and all failed resulting in devastating consequences.
Gojoseon was larger than the land shown in the video. Korea used to be a land of Gojoseon from Gojoseon to Liaodong, Manchuria, and Vladivostok. After Gojoseon fell, Liaodong became Han territory. Goguryeo occupied Liaodong again
Vladivostok not part of gojoseon

世界上没有任何人承认有古朝鲜这种东西存在。
It's without historical proof. Korean starts their civilization technically after 3BCE. It is like claiming ancient Scotland Kingdoms spread their sovereignty to the whole Britain.
@@gpt_rule_the_worldWei Man are not Manchurian. It's a silly translate mistakes. Man is the first name of Wei Man, an Yan general who later established Wei Man Joseon (卫满朝鲜）, meanwhile the term Manchuria refers to Man Zhou满洲 in Chinese， which appeared about 1700years later.
You really got to make more video. Always excited to search or see your new videos.👍
